I was in Chicago, also known as the windy city, last week attending a National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference. This year it was Unity meaning the conference encompassed all of the minority groups. National Association of Asian Journalists (NAAJ), National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) and Native American Journalists Association (NAJA).

O'Bama and McCain were invited to speak at the Conference. O'Bama did except the invitation and spoke on Sunday afternoon.

The conference was a week of networking, attending seminars, catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. My friend, Amanda and I are doing just that, catching up on old times and posing for pictures.

This was my first time in Chicago so of course I "had" to do what the chicagoans do.....have some of the famous deep dish chicago pizza at Giordano's Italian Restaurant and Pizzaria! The pizza is so thick it takes 50-60 minutes to bake but it is so worth the wait....mmm...yummy!

It is so thick I could barely finish it....but you know I did!

I visited the Tribune building

As Amanda and I were shopping on the Magnificent Mile we came across this tin man....Yes, he is real!

We went to the Navy Pier and took a boat tour on Lake Michigan.

I went to a Chicago Cubs game and sat in the sky box where you get all the food you want for free from hors d'oeuvres to hot dogs to any kind of dessert you can think of, to cappucinos to slushies, ect!! It was so much food catering going on I was overwhelmed but I'm not complaining in the least!

Here I am with Jean Maye, Director of Human Resources at WPIX-TV in New York and Myrna Ramirez, VP of Human Resources of Tribune Broadcasting.
